How to find Money Investors ? (Without Meetups)

Shannon Richardson

Posted

Hello Everyone,

I am just getting started in REI and I am comfortable with most aspects and doing them quite well, however, I am just having trouble raising money for deals. I can't seem to come across investors or get in front of them to let them know what I do.

Everyone I speak to suggest going to REIA meetings or other meetups but the problem is I work 2 jobs from 5 am to 9 pm (kind of why I started doing this, to eventually get out of the rat race) so I don't have time for them. I am trying to think of ways I can find people this way I can create meeting times around my schedule and get more face to face time in.

If anyone has any creative solutions please let me know, I am willing to try anything at this point. BTW, at the morning job, I am always online so I am not limited in that sense. 

Thank you in advance!

I'm not quite sure if you are braggin' or complainin'. You're working too hard to make any real money.

Seriously, if you have to do that to survive where you live, then move. (leave your relatives behind until you "make it") you can always visit and they don't see you anyway, you're working too hard.

Now, for the real estate investing side, you can join a service group and meets lots of people who have money that would like to invest with you, Kiwanas, Elks, Eagles, Chamber of Commerce, etc, etc doctors, dentists, other successful businessmen. Don't be talking about investing the first day, but over time as you get to know people and they ask what you do, you are an Investor. Not a "real estate investor" just an "Investor". Let them lead you in the conversation. The doors will open very wide.

It's a "people to people" business, being online doesn't raise funds for you.
